This Oregon standoff arrest makes no sense to me. Young man visited the Refuge but did nothing wrong.

Eric Flores, is the youngest to be arrested for his part in the Oregon standoff, but what was his part...beats me?

Are they arresting everyone that visited the Refuge during that time?

Eric is 22 years old, lives with his girlfriend and 6 month old baby, and had planned to join the military immediately after he came home.

His girlfriend said all he did was go there to help. He did sit and do time in the watchtower, and he did have guns there.

I want to know if under Second Amendment Rights they were allowed to carry a gun on the property? If they were just roaming the land carrying a gun, would they be protected under the Second Amendment?

This is getting crazy...I guess they are planning on arresting every protester that visited the Refuge. That ought to fill their prisons full of innocent protesters.

LINK: TULALIP RESERVATION — It was about 10 in the morning when law-enforcement vehicles pulled up to the modest home where Eric Lee Flores, his girlfriend and their 6-month-old baby daughter were staying.

There were three to five cars, at least one tribal police vehicle, and maybe three unmarked cars with FBI agents. It’s hard to keep an exact count when things heat up.

Flores’ monthlong adventure into the world of self-described patriots had come to a discomfiting end on Feb. 11.

The agents came because of federal grand-jury papers: Flores was one of seven men most recently indicted in the armed takeover of a national wildlife refuge in Oregon that had made headlines around the world with its images of cowboys and guns.

Of the 25 people indicted in all, each faces up to six years in prison on charges of conspiracy to impede federal employees from performing their duties. It’s unclear all the charges they will face because the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Portland has stated that it plans to file a new indictment that could include additional charges.

Of the bunch, Flores, at 22, is the youngest.
